 In Congress, May i 1778 
 
 Resolved Unanimously, That all Military officers

 after may be, in the Service of the United States, 
 and shall continue to [serve ?] during the war, and 
 shall not hold an [office] of profit under these States 
 or any office after the conclusion of the war, shall 
 be [en]titled to receive for the term of seven y[ears] 
 if they live so long, one half of the present pay of 
 such Officers, — Provided, that no General Officers 
 of the Cavalry, Artillery, or Infantry, shall be en- 
 titled to receive more than the one half of the pay 
 of a colonel of such Corps respectively — and pro- 
 vided, that the resolution shall not extend to any 
 
2 ORDERLY BOOK OF

 he shall have taken the oath of allegiance to and 
 shall actually reside within some one of the United 
 States. 
 
 Resolved unanimously that every non commis- 
 sioned Officer and Soldier who hath enlisted or 
 shall enlist into the service of these States for and 
 during the war and shall continue therein to the 
 end thereof, shall be entitled to receive the further 
 reward of 80 dollars at the expiration of the war —

 Commanding Officers of Regiments are to make 
 returns to the Q. M. General of the number of tents 
 
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON 3 
 
 absolutely wanting in each, for such men as cannot 
 be accommodated consistent with their health and 
 comfort in huts. It will be relied upon in these 
 returns, that none will make a larger demand than 
 the real situation of their respective regiments 
 requires. The Q. M. G. will make his issues upon 
 these returns. 
 
 At a Gen^ Court Martial whereof Col° Bauman 
 was President the 1 3 Inst, John Reynolds Artificer 
 in Major Pollard's Corps tried for striking Lieu'. 
 Hemmet found guilty and sentenced to receive one 
 hundred lashes. The Commander in Chief ap- 
 proves the sentence and orders it executed on the 
 grand parade tomorrow morning at guard mount- 
 ing- 
 Samuel Raymond at the same Court tried for pre- 
 senting a loaded musket at L'. Hemmet. Upon 
 due consideration the Court are of opinion that he 
 is guilty of the charge exhibited against him ; but 
 the extreme and unpardonable warmth with which 
 the officers conducted themselves, renders the action 
 of the prisoners in some measure excusable, and 
 operates with the Court so strongly in his favor 
 that they only sentence him to be reprimanded by 
 the commanding Officer of the company to which 
 he belongs. 
 
 Also John Coffin tried for abusing Cap* Gowerly 
 when attempting to supress a riot on the other 
 side of Schuylkill, found not guilty and ac- 
 quitted — 
 
 The General approves the sentences and orders 
 them to take place immediately —

 The Inspectors &'' will attend at the Baron Stu- 
 ben's quarters tomorrow at the hour appointed in 
 the orders of the 1 9 instant. 
 
 If there are any persons in the Army who under- 
 stand making thin Paper, such as bank notes are 
 struck upon, they are desired to apply immediately 
 to the Orderly Office, where they will be shewn a 
 sample of the Paper — Officers commanding Regi- 
 ments are to publish this in Regimental Orders — 
 
 M' Vowles Adjutant in the Virg^ Reg', is approved 
 to do the duty of Brigade Major in Gen'. Woodford's 
 Brigade till further orders. 
 
 At a General Court Martial the 15 inst whereof 
 Col° Bowman was President, Cap* Cleaveland, of 
 Col° Mich'. Jackson's Regiment, tried for behaving 
 in an unofficerlike manner in refusing to do a tour 
 of duty when duly notified, found not guilty of the 
 charge exhibited against him, and acquitted with 
 honor. 
 
 Although Cap* Cleaveland ought not to have been 
 
6 ORDERLY BOOK OF 
 
 warned for duty when return 'd sick, yet the General 
 cannot applaud the spirit which actuated him in 
 refusing obedience to a positive order, and declining 
 a tour of duty such a kind as might have been in 
 all appearance easily performed by Cap^ Cleaveland 
 in his circumstances — Cap'. Cleaveland is released 
 from his arrest — 
 
 At a Brigade Court Martial whereof L'. Col°. 
 Cropper was President, Cap'. Eward [j-zV] Hull of the 
 15 Virg^ Reg' tried for gaming when he ought to 
 have been on the parade the 1 2 instant, unanimously 
 found guilty of that part of the charge exhibited 
 against him relative to gaming, but acquitted of 
 nonattendance on the parade, and sentenced to be 
 reprimanded by the Commanding Officer of the 
 Brigade in present \_su^ of all the officers thereof. 
 
 At the same Court Lieu'. Thomas Lewis of the 
 same Reg', tried upon a similar charge found guilty 
 and sentenced the same as Cap' Hull. 
 
 The Commander in Chief, however unwilling to 
 dissent from the judgement of a Court Martial, is 
 obliged utterly to disapprove these sentences ; the 
 punishment being in his opinion entirely inadequate 
 to the offence. A practice so pernicious in itself, as 
 that of gaming, so prejudicial to good order and mili- 
 tary discipline, so contrary to positive and repeated 
 general orders, carried to so enormous a height as it 
 appears, and aggravated certainly in the case of L'. 
 Lewis, by an additional offence of no triffling mili- 
 tary consequence — absence from parade, demanded 
 a much severer penalty than simply a reprimand. 
 — Cap' Hull and Lieu'. Lewis are to be released 
 from arrest —

 becoming a gentleman and an officer in abusing 
 CoP Nixon's family, unanimously found guilty of the 
 charge exhibited against him being a breach 21 
 Art. 14 Sec. Articles of War and sentenced to be 
 discharged from the service. — The Commander in 
 Chief approves the sentence and orders it to take 
 place immediately.

 Reg', tried for not attending the parade on the 13 
 ins', and unanimously acquitted of the charge with 
 honor. 
 
 Likewise, L'. W"". Powell tried upon the same 
 charge and acquitted in like manner — 
 
 The General observes that sickness or indisposi- 
 tion is certainly a sufficient excuse for not attending 
 the parade but it ought to be an established rule to 
 signify it either personally or in writing thro' the 
 Adj'. to the Commanding Officer of the Regiment 
 to which the Officer concerned shall belong. These 
 Gentlemen in not doing this were dificient in the 
 line of regularity and propriety. Hereafter the 
 excuse shall not be admitted unless this rul be 
 observed except where any particular circumstances 
 render the observance impracticable, which can 
 rarely happen —

 Commanding Officers of Brigades, in pursuance 
 of former orders to hold themselves in readiness to 
 march are to apply immediately to the Q M Gen' for 
 a sufficient number of waggons to transport their 
 baggage, and are to have their respective brigades 
 supplied as completely as possible with camp uten- 
 sils, and necessaries of every kind requisite towards 
 taking the field. The Commissary will have a quan- 
 tity of hard bread and salt meat prepared to issue 
 to the Army when called for; As we may expect 
 every moment to march the Army is to be prepared 
 in all respects for that purpose. 
 
 Guards of every kind are constantly to hold them- 
 selves in a collected state with their accoutrements 
 on, and ready to act at a moments warning. The 
 General forbids all exercise and diversions, particu- 
 larly such as cause them to disperse and put off their 
 accoutrements, which is equally incomitant with the 
 safety and good discipline. 
 
 A Board of General Officers to set tomorrow 
 morning ten o'clock at Gen' Lee's quarters to 
 examine into L' Col° Regnier's claim of rank in 
 the N York line, and report their opinion thereon. 
 The other Lieu' Colonels of that line present are 
 to attend. The Commander in Chief will lay be- 
 fore the Board the memorial presented by L'. Col" 
 Regnier with other papers.

 At a Gen^ Court Martial, Col°. Chambers Presi- 
 dent the 25 instant, Cap^ Medaras, of the North 
 Carolina Brigade, tried for forgery — after mature 
 deliberation the Court are of opinion that Cap' Ma- 
 daras is guilty of the charge exhibited against him 
 but as he could not have been actuated by motives 
 self interested or injurious to Cap* Jones, the Gentle- 
 man whose name he signed, and as he had before 
 been perfectly acquainted with Cap'. Jones's senti- 
 ments, the Court (thinking his crime, tho' he is yet 
 truly blameworthy, alleviated by these circumstances) 
 do sentence him to be reprimanded in General 
 Orders. 
 
 The Commander in Chief approves the Sentence, 
 and is much concerned to find that an Officer in this 
 Army, should presume to sign a Brother Officer's 
 name without his permission. Cap' Medaras is or- 
 dered to be released from his arrest. 
 
 At the same Court W"" Whiteman Waggoner, 
 tried for desertion and sentenced to receive sixty

 tion tomorrow morning on the grand parade at

 Also, John Cline of the loth Penn^. Reg', tried 
 for desertion and attempting to escape to the 
 enemy, and for stealing a horse — found guilty of

 Col° Cortlandt is appointed to tarry in camp to 
 superintend the sick left on the ground when the 
 Army moves, and to send on the recovered men 
 properly officered to join their respective Corps and 
 Major will repair to the Yellow Springs and 
 
 the hospitals near Camp, and superintend the Sick 
 there. They will apply tomorrow at the Orderly 
 office for written instructions — 
 
 The following will be observed as a standing 
 model for the order of march, whether of the whole 
 Army, a Division, Brigade, or Battalion. It may 
 happen that some changes may be necessary in the 
 strength and number of the advanced, rear, and 
 flank guards, and in their relative distances to each 
 other and to the main body, Sl"^. ; which are to be 
 determined according to particular circumstances, 
 and which the officers commanding will judge of. — 
 But the general principles and rules here laid down 
 are, in all cases, to be practised, only with such 
 
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON 27 
 
 variations in applying them as different situations 
 may require. 
 
 When a Battahon receive orders to march, each 
 company forms before its own quarters ; the Captain 
 having inspected into their arms and accoutrements 
 conducts it to the regimental parade, where the Field 
 Officers inspect the whole, forms each Battalion into 
 8 plattoons for charging, agreeable to instructions 
 given, and march it by plattoons to the rendezvous. 
 When only one battalion marches, the Colonel orders 
 out an advanced and rear Guard, each consistingf of 
 I Lieu*. 3 Non-Com-Officers i Drum and 20 privates 
 — A Brigade composed of several Battalions has an 
 advanced and rear guard, each consisting of i Cap- 
 tain, 2 Subs, 6 N. C. O. & 40 or 50 privates. — When 
 several Brigades march together each Brigade fur- 
 nishes a proportionable number for the advanced 
 and rear guards — When the whole Army marches 
 the new guards of the day form the advanced guard, 
 and the old ones the rear guard. The new guards 
 being assembled on the grand parade the Brigadier 
 of the day forms them into a Battalion of 8 plattoons, 
 the eldest field officer of the day takes the command 
 of it, and marches at the head of the column. The 
 Brigadier of the preceeding day having assembled 
 the old guards, forms them in the same manner, the 
 eldest Field Officer taking the com-mand and march- 
 ing in the rear of the column — The advanced guard 
 should be from 50 to 200 paces in front of the col- 
 umn. Each advanced guard should send forward a 
 detatchment to serve as an advanced guard to itself ; 
 and that detatchment should also send out a patrole 
 in front, each . an hundred paces in front of the 
 
28 ORDERLY BOOK OF 
 
 other — Thus, i Capt 2 Subs, 6 n. c. off. — i Drum, 
 & 50 men will send out a non c. off. & 12 men 
 — and that N. C. O. will also advance 4 men in his 
 front. An advanced guard of a Lieu*. & 20 men 
 will advance i n. c. o. & 8 men, who will also ad- 
 vance 2 men in his front. The rear guard will 
 observe the same rules, sending its detatchments 
 in the rear as the advanced guard does in front — 
 
 When a Brigade, Division, or the Army, marches 
 by the right it is supposed the enemy is on the left 
 ■ — and the contrary. — Each Battalion will therefore 
 send out on the flank exposed to the enemy, i Sub, 
 2 N. C. O. & 16 men as a flank guard, who will 
 march in a plattoon by files from the right opposite 
 the centre of the battalion, at the distance of 80 or 
 100 paces from the column. 
 
 When the Army marches in 2 columns, the right 
 column has its flank guard on its right and the left 
 column on its left, — when in one column, and the 
 position of the enemy uncertain, guards must be 
 sent out on both flanks. The advanced, rear, and 
 flank guards must always have their bayonets fixed. 
 Whenever the grounds will permit, the battalions 
 must march by plattoons ; during the march each 
 Colonel must stay before his battalion, and each 
 Captain & Subaltern before his plattoon ; the inter- 
 vals between the battalions and plattoons must be 
 strictly observed during the march — When there is 
 a creek or defile to pass, the Brigadiers must stop 
 till their Brigade have passed, and the Colonels till 
 their respective battalions have passed. They will 
 take care that the men pass with as large a front, 
 and as quick, as possible. The advanced guard 
 
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON 29 
 
 having passed the defile should take such a situation 
 as to be able to see all around, and shall send out 
 patroles 500 paces round. The head of the column 
 halts before it enters the defile to let the plattoons 
 get at half distance, and when half the column has 
 got through it halts till the whole has passed and 
 then continues its march. When the road will not 
 permit to march by plattoons, the march is to be 
 made by 4 in front, in the following manner, — each 
 ofhcer divides his plattoon into sections — for exam- 
 ple, a plattoon of 16 files makes 4 sections; they 
 will break off by the right or left, each section 2 
 paces from the other, and continue the march — If 
 a plattoon has 15 files the last section will have 3 
 files — if 14, the last will have 4 men in one rank, if 
 1 3 files the last will have 5 files — When marching 
 in this order by the right the officers commanding 
 plattoons will be on the left of the first section, the 
 Serj'^ on the right stays in his place, and the Officers 
 & N. C. O. who were in the rear will be on the right 
 flank. If they march in this order by the left the 
 C. Off. of the plattoon remains on the right of the 
 first section and the others on the left flank; so 
 that by wheeling the sections the plattoon will be 
 formed, and each officer and n. c. o. will be in his 
 place. 
 
 During the march each Officer must keep his 
 plattoon in order; the Officers & N. C. O. in the 
 rear must prevent the soldiers leaving their ranks 
 on any account. If the soldiers have occasion for 
 water the officer must send a n. c. o. with some 
 men to fill their canteens and the n. c. o. must 
 bring them back to their plattoons immediately. 
 
30 ORDERLY BOOK OF 
 
 The flank guard will never suffer any non c. offi- 
 cer or soldier to pass them during the march, and 
 the rear guard will take care to bring up all strag- 
 glers.

 of which has been heretofore prevented by the par- 
 ticular circumstances of the Army, is in future to be 
 punctually observed. 
 
 In Congress, Nov. 19"* 1776. 
 
 Resolved That on any sick or disabled non com- 
 missioned officer or soldier being sent to any hospi-

 tal, or give to the N. C. O. or soldier so in the hos- 
 pital or quarters a certificate countersigned by the 
 Pay Master of the Regiment (if he be with the reg*.) 
 of what pay is due to such N. C. O. or private at the 
 time of his entering the hospital or quarters, and 
 the Cap', or Com', of the Troop or Company shall 
 not receive the pay of the said soldier in Hospital 
 or quarters or include him in any pay abstract dur- 
 ing his continuance therein. And in case any N. C. 
 O. or soldier shall be discharged from the hospital 
 or quarters as unfit for further service, a certificate 
 shall be given him by the Surgeon or Director of 
 what pay is then due to him, and the said N. C. O. 
 or Soldier so discharged shall be entitled to receive 
 his pay at any pay office or from any pay master in 
 the service of the United States, the said Pay Mas- 
 ter keeping such original certificate to prevent im- 
 positions and giving the N. C. O. or soldier his 
 discharge or a certified copy thereof, mentioning at 
 the same time his having been paid. — That this

 A Court of Enquiry, whereof Col° Wigglesworth 
 is appointed President, will sit tomorrow morning 
 at 10 °clock at the President's quarters, at the 
 request of L'. Col° Du Plissis, to enquire into his 
 conduct on the different occasions mentioned in a 
 letter from the Commander in Chief to Congress in 
 his behalf, and into the truths of the facts on which 
 the representation contained in it were founded, 
 and of the several matters urged by the Officers of 
 Artillery to the contrary, in a letter from them to 
 the Commander Chief. All persons concerned will 
 attend — L' Col° Dearborn & Butler — Majors Hay 
 & Campbell — Members.

 A Captain from Weedon's Brigade & a Sub from 
 the I Penn^ are to repair immediately to the Hos- 
 pitals at the yellow springs to relieve Cap' Wallace 
 and Lieu'. Sweringen. They will call at the 
 Orderly Office for Instructions. 
 
 At a General Court Martial whereof CoP Cham- 
 bers was President, the 27 ulto L^ McDonald of 
 the 3^^ Penn^ Reg' tried for " unofficer and ungentle- 
 manlike behavior in taking 2 mares and a barrel of 
 carpenter's tools on the lines, which mares he con- 
 veyed away, and sold the tools at private sale — and 
 with insulting behavior in refusing to comply with 
 his arrest." After mature deliberation, the Court, tak- 
 ing into consideration several circumstances are unani- 
 mously of opinion that altho L'. McDonald is guilty of 
 the facts alledged in the first charge that they do not 
 amount to unofficer or ungentlemanlike behavior, and 
 do acquit him of it, and likewise of the second. — 
 
 The Commander in Chief is far from being satis- 
 fied of the propriety of L'. M*" Donald's conduct — 
 he knows of no authority under which he had a 
 right to seize the horses in question and to apply 
 them in the manner he did — he approves still less 
 of the measures taken with respect to the tools. If 
 the probability of their being carried into the enemy 
 arises by a disaffected person justified the seizure, 
 nothing can justify the applying them, as appears 
 to have been intended, to private emolument; to 
 the injury of the right owner, who was an absent 
 and innocent person, who had only lodged them in 
 the care of the other during his absence. They

 At a General Court Martial whereof CoP Cham-

 Penn^ Regiment tried for " propagating a report 
 that Col° George Nagle was se^en on the 15 of May 
 drinking either tea or coffee in Serg'. Howeraft's 
 tent, with his whore, her mother, the said Howeraft 
 and his family to the prejudice of good order and 
 military discipline." The Court having considered 
 the charge and evidence are unanimously of opinion 
 that Cap'. Stake's justification is sufficient, and do 
 acquit him of the charge exhibited against him — 
 The General approves the acquital. 
 
 At the same Court L', Sam'. Jones of the 15 Virg^ 
 Reg*, tried for "concealing, and denying that he had 
 in his possession, a pair of mittens belonging to Cap' 
 Hull — 2*^'^ for gaming on the 12 of May and at 
 sundry other times. 3*^'^ for behaving in a manner 
 unbecoming an Officer and Gentleman in treating 
 Cap' Hull with abusive language while under an 
 arrest, and endeavoring to incense the Officers of 
 his Regiment against him." The Court having 
 considered the charge and evidence are of opinion 
 that Lieu'. Jones is guilty of the charges exhibited 
 against him, and do sentence him to be discharged 
 the service. 
 
 The General is entirely disposed to believe from 
 
40 ORDERLY BOOK OF 
 
 the representations he has received in favor of Lieu*. 
 Jones, that he was incapable of having retained the 
 gloves with a fraudulent intention ; but as he has 
 been clearly proved to have been guilty of the per- 
 nicious practice of gaming, which will invariably 
 meet with every mark of his disapprobation, he con- 
 firms the sentence of dismissing Lieu' Jones. 
 
 At the same Court Lieu'. John Roberts, of the 2^ 
 North Carolina Regiment tried, — i^'for behaving 
 in a scandalous, infamous manner — 2^^'^ for absent- 
 ing himself from camp without leave." The Court 
 having considered the charges and evidence are 
 unanimously of opinion that L*. John Roberts is not 
 guilty of the charges exhibited against him, and do 
 acquit him — 
 
 The General approves the acquital — but is sorry 
 to see little personal bickerings between ofificers, 
 which cannot with propriety be drawn into military 
 offences, made the subjects of a court martial —

 At a Brigade Court Martial held this day, where- 
 of Col° Harrison is President, George Deloney 
 of CoP. Crane's Regiment tried for " desertion " — 
 pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to receive one 
 hun'd lashes — also, John Gill of Col° Harrison's 
 Regt. tried for being drunk on his post — pleaded 
 guilty and was sentenced to receive fifty lashes — 
 But many circumstances appearing in favor of the 
 Prisoner, the Court recommend him for mercy. — 
 
 The General approves the above sentences, remits 
 the punishment ordered Gill — and forgives Delony 
 also, in whose favor some particular circumstances 
 have appeared.

 Col° Park, and his defence, are of opinion that he is 
 guilty of having been absent from camp without 
 leave but that he is not guilty of negligence of duty 
 while in camp. The Court taking into considera- 
 tion the peculiar circumstances attending L' Col° 
 Parks absence, and the punishment he has already 
 endured in consequence of his arrest and suspen- 
 sion from duty, beg leave to recommend him to his 
 Excellency as worthy of acquital. — The General

 After the dismission of the old guards the Briga- 
 dier and field officers of the preceeding day are to 
 assemble at the provost guard and examine into the 
 charges against the several prisoners there, and the 
 circumstances attending them and to discharge all 
 such as shall appear to be improperly confined, or 
 the length of whose imprisonment may be deemed 
 a sufficient punishment for their crimes, or whose 
 offences are so triffiing as to make the process of a 
 General Court Martial unnecessary. — This to be a 
 standing Order. — They are also to send to their 
 Brigade and Regiments all those who are to be 
 tried by Brigade or Regimental Courts. — 
 
 Three Captains and 9 Lieutenants are wanted to 
 officer the Company of Sappers. As this Corps 
 will be a school of Engineering, it opens a prospect 
 to such Gentlemen as enter it and will pursue the 
 necessary studies with diligence, of becoming En- 
 gineers and rising to the important employments 
 attatched to that profession, such as the direction of 
 fortified places &^ The qualifications required of 
 the Candidates are that they be natives and have 
 a knowledge of the mathematicks and drawing, or 
 at least be disposed to apply themselves to those 
 studies — They will give in their names at Head 
 Quarters —

 Some misunderstanding, and mistake in conse- 
 quence, having arisen with respect to the Major 
 Generals commands. The Commander in Chief 
 directs that till a more perfect arrangement can be 
 made under the new establishment, or till fur- 
 ther orders on this head, each Major General is to 
 command the Division heretofore assigned him, 
 
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON 47 
 
 previous to the late disposition for a march ; but in 
 case of an alarm, or any other General Movement of 
 the Army, the three oldest Major Generals present 
 and fit for duty are during the occassion to com- 
 mand the right and left wings and second line of 
 the Army, agreeable to the General Order of the 
 23"^ of May last. The North Carolina Brigade is to 
 supply the place of Maxwells in Lord Stirlings 
 Division, till further orders. 
 
 Upon firing the signal guns for an alarm, the 
 Troops are to form immediately in front of their 
 respective Brigades, and are to be marched by the 
 senior Major Generals as above, to their respective 
 alarm posts. 
 
 The i' & 2*^ Maryland, and Varnum's Brigades 
 are to draw up in front of their respective encamp- 
 ments and send to the Commander in Chief for 
 orders. 
 
 A Major General is to be appointed for the day, 
 who, with the Brigadier and Field Officers on that 
 duty are carefully to attend to the police and good 
 order of the camp. They are always to be on the 
 grand parade at Guard Mounting, and when the 
 Guards are marched off the Major General will 
 make a distribution of the several duties of the day 
 among the Field Officers of it. He is to receive 
 and report to the Commander in Chief all the re- 
 markable occurences which happened during his 
 tour of duty, and will attend in an especial manner 
 to the order of the 9* instant respecting prisoners, 
 as there is reason to believe that many of them are 
 improperly detained in the provost. 
 
 All unnecessary waste of Timber is to be avoided. 
 
48 ORDERLY BOOK OF 
 
 The Commanding Officers will know that their Q' 
 Masters attend particularly to this business. 
 
 The Commander in Chief having received ample 
 testimony of the general good character and behavior 
 of Lieut Jones, who was sentenced to be dismissed 
 the service by a Gen' Court Martial, which sentence 
 was approved by him on the 6*'' instant ; and being 
 further satisfied by Gen'^ Woodford, Scott and other 
 Officers that that Gentleman is not addicted to the 
 vice of gaming, restores him to his rank and com- 
 mand in the Regiment he belonged to, and in the 
 line of the Army. 
 
 At a Brigade General Court Martial June 2^ 1778, 
 L*. Col° Adams President, Cap'. Norwood tried for 
 "refusing to comply with a general order issued 
 expressly for the relief of the Troops on pieket, 
 founded on the necessity of the case, which at that 
 period could not be otherwise remedied," found 
 guilty of the charge exhibited against him and sen- 
 tenced to be privately reprimanded by the Officer 
 commanding the Reg^ to which he belongs — 
 
 The Commander in Chief utterly disapproves the 
 sentence, as altogether inadequate to the Offence. 
 The mutinous and dangerous spirit which actuated 
 Captain Norwood merited, in his opinion, the most 
 exemplary punishment — He is to be released from 
 his arrest. — 
 
 At a Gen' Court Martial the 5 Ins'. CoP Cham- 
 bers President, L' CoP Hubley of the 10 Penn* 
 Reg*, tried for malicious behavior in being the occa- 
 sion of Col° Nagle's signing a false return, to the 
 injury of his honor and contrary to good order and 
 military discipline in the case of Cap' Long, who as 
 
GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON 49 
 
 Col° Hubley told CoP Nagle was absent without 
 leave, tho' he had Col° Hubleys and Gen^ Waynes 
 orders to remain at Lancaster till the business he 
 was sent on was perfected." After mature delibera- 
 tion the Court are unanimously of opinion that L* 
 Col° Hubley is not guilty, and do acquit him with 
 honor. — The Commander in Chief confirms the 
 opinion. 
 
 At the same Court Cap' Redman of Late CoP 
 Patten's Reg', tried for " misconduct on the night of 
 the 11''' of last April; first, in neglecting to guard 
 the passes by which means Cap'. Humphry was 
 surprized, — 2^'^ not coming to Capt Humphry's 
 assistance when he was attacked by the Enemy " — 
 The Court are unanimously of opinion that Cap'. 
 Redman is not guilty of the first charge exhibited 
 against him and do acquit him ; they are of opinion 
 that Capt'. Redman is guilty of the 2^ charge but 
 think that his reasons for not marching to the assis- 
 tance of Cap' Humphry are sufficient and do unan- 
 imously acquit him with honor. — The Commander 
 in Chief confirms the opinion of the Court. 
 
 At the same Court Will"". Powell, soldier in Col° 
 Angel's Regiment, was tried, " first for desertion, 
 2<iiy for reinlisting — 3*^'^. for perjury" — found guilty 
 and sentenced to receive 300 lashes 100 for each 
 crime, and return to Col° Angell's Reg'. — The 
 Com^ in Chief approves the sentence so far as it 
 extends to 100 lashes — 
 
 Likewise Edward Conolly, soldier in Col° Harri- 
 son's Reg', of Artillery tried " first for deserting to 
 the enemy — 2^^^. reinlisting into Col° Weltner's 
 Reg'." found guilty of the charges exhibited against 
 
50 ORDERLY BOOK OF GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTOT^T 
 
 him and sentenced to receive 200 lashes, 100 for 
 each crime — The Commander in Chief approves 
 the sentence the same as Powell's — These sen- 
 tences to be put in execution tomorrow morning at 
 the head of the Reg* to which they belong — 
 
 The grand parade is assigned in front of Late 
 Conways Brigade.
